  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. 2 Place pizza dough on a floured surface and roll into a rectangular shape, between 1/8-inch and 1/4-inch thick, letting dough relax occasionally if it keeps springing back. Spread pesto on top, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edge. Top evenly with provolone cheese, prosciutto, and peppers.
  3. 3 Roll up tightly in the direction that gives you the most length, ending with the seam on the bottom. Press down to flatten slightly and dust the top lightly with flour. Use a pizza wheel to cut dough lengthwise into 3 long, even strips using a pizza wheel.
  4. 4 Place strips next to each other but not touching, the middle strip cut-side up and the other two cut-sides facing in. Braid them together, then curl the ends in to form a round wreath shape, tucking any loose ends under the loaf. Transfer onto the prepared baking sheet.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place the flank steak on a cutting board with the short end closest to you. Starting from one of the long sides, cut through the meat horizontally to within 1/2 inch of the opposite edge. (You can also ask your butcher to butterfly the flank steak for you instead of cutting it yourself.)
  2. 2 Mix the soy sauce, olive oil, and steak seasoning together in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Marinate flank steak in the refrigerator 4 hours to overnight.
  3. 3 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a glass baking dish.
  4. 4 Lay out the flank steak flat in front of you with the grain of the meat running from left to right. Layer the provolone across the steak, leaving a 1-inch border. Arrange the bacon, spinach, red pepper, and mushrooms across the cheese covered steak in stripes running in the same direction as the grain of the meat. Roll the flank steak up and away from you, so that when the roll is cut into the pinwheel shape, each of the filling ingredients can be seen. Roll firmly, but be careful not to squeeze the fillings out the ends. Once rolled, tie every 2 inches with kitchen twine.
  5. 5 Place in prepared baking dish, and bake in preheated oven for one hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into 1 inch slices. Be sure to remove the twine before serving!

  3. 3 Place 1 slice provolone cheese on each chicken breast. Layer 1 slice prosciutto over cheese, lightly folding it so it does not hang over the edge of the chicken. Spoon 2 tablespoons pesto over each chicken breast and top with tomato pieces. Sprinkle seasoned bread crumbs over chicken. Arrange chicken in a single layer in the prepared baking dish, stuffing-side up.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Instructions

  1. 1 Pour ⅓ cup warm water into a bowl; sprinkle yeast over top. Let stand to make sure yeast is active, 10 to 15 minutes.
  2. 2 Add 1 ½ cups semolina flour, olive oil, and salt to yeast mixture; mix with your hands to form a relatively stiff dough ball, adding more water if needed to bring dough together.
  3. 3 Transfer dough to a work surface; knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Cover with the bowl; let rest for 30 minutes.
  4. 4 Uncover dough; knead 3 to 4 minutes. Divide dough into 2 portions; shape each into smooth balls, using damp hands to help smooth out dough, if needed.
  5. 5 Generously dust half a kitchen towel with semolina flour; place dough balls on top. Sprinkle dough ball tops with semolina flour; cover with other half of towel. Let dough rise until almost doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
  6. 6 Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and sprinkle with cornmeal.
  7. 7 Roll out each dough ball on a lightly floured surface into a very thin circle or oval shape.
  8. 8 Combine pizza sauce and basil in a bowl; spread a thin layer of sauce over dough, leaving a 1 inch border. Scatter provolone every few inches over sauce. Fold opposite dough edges toward the middle to form a rectangle; press lightly to flatten slightly. Repeat spreading sauce and scattering provolone over dough.
  9. 9 Fold each end toward the center to make a square shape. Spread with a thin layer of sauce and scatter pieces of cheese on one half. Fold in half, overlapping the edge by about 1 inch. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat filling and folding (Steps 8 and 9) with remaining dough, sauce, and cheese.
  10. 10 Bake in the preheated oven until very well browned, 16 to 18 minutes. Some spots may get charred, but this is fine and desirable, since scacce are traditionally cooked in very hot wood-fired ovens. Let rest before slicing and serving, 15 minutes.
